Real mature emevas. I dont know why a select few of you are bashing me and my school, its Cowboy who came on here and talked about "cleaning house" he started with the asshole remarks. Its cool though, Cowboy will feel like hes been in prison with emevas in a few short hours.

Do you know what irony means? How about hypocrisy?

Seriously, this "my dick is the biggest, Ima make you touch it" routine of yours is about as immature as anything I've seen posted here. Further more, loud mouthed blaggarts like you tend to be the least skilled when push comes to shove. Try not to embarrass your teachers by crying when that mouth of yours gets you hurt.

Emevas' response was not only warranted under the circumstances, (referencing an awesome dick measuring moment from Road House) but funny as hell IMO.

1.) Everyone we encountered was very kind, friendly and respectful. There was absolutely NO ATTITUDE from anyone.

2.) The class consisted of Diane Martin, their 10th Dan O'Sensei, 4 other adult male black belts of varying degrees and 22 children under the age of 12.

3.) We began class at 6:00 with much shouting and bowing for about 5 minutes followed by approximately 45-50 minutes of stretching, situps and pushups. I actually got in an ok ab workout.

4.) The Judo instruction consisted of showing the class O-Goshi, O-Soto-Gari, O-Ichi-Gari, Tai-Otoshi, Harai-Goshi and Uchimata. Everyone did each throw three times.

5.) Then randori began. It lasted 30 seconds. No, I am not exxagerating. It was one 30 second round.

6.) After more shouting and bowing, class ended promptly at 7:30. I asked if anyone wanted to do more randori after class, but was told everyone was 'too tired'.

My thoughts & opinions:

This is not Judo. The techniques being taught were all incorrect. To begin with everyone in the dojo began their throws with a HUGE windup backstep, like a pitcher getting ready to throw a baseball. The technique itself was being improperly taught and executed. For instance, in O-Soto-Gari, they are taught to reach way out behind the leg instead of stepping up high and 'mule kicking' out your opponent's leg. I did it the way I was taught and was quickly 'corrected'. They teach O-Ichi-Gari as stepping in, entwining your opponents leg and then lifting your leg, with your opponent's leg, back and up to your butt. Again, this is not how I have been taught to do it. These types of inconsistencies were evident in all throws performed. To me, it is obvious that this is not Kodokan Judo, but simply a form of Karate grappling.

Sadly, I never got to meet Mr. Judaking. No one ever approached me, even as obvious as it was being that I was the guy wearing the cowboy hat. During my 30 second randori, I was matched up with a very nice guy who I threw with a left-handed Harai-Goshi (my signature move) and then I threw him with Tomoenage and finished with Ude Hishigi Juji Gatame.

After class a few students asked for my number and if they could come visit us sometime. I told them we would be pleased to have them.

I apologized profusely to my two students who made the unnecessary trip with me. We drove a 1/2 hour each way and basically sat in on a kid's karate class. I owe those guys a few beers.

Again, everyone was very cordial, but as far as legitimate Judo goes, I'm going to have to say this school is BULLSHIDO.
